Following reports that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had contact with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the 2016 presidential campaign, the American Civil Liberties Union is calling for an investigation into whether Sessions perjured himself during his confirmation hearing. ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero issued the following statement:

“Jeff Sessions took an oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and it is now clear that he broke that oath in his confirmation hearing. If senators of both parties allow an attorney general nominee to plainly lie under oath with no repercussions, they will render our government’s cabinet confirmation process no more than kabuki theater. This matter must not and cannot be seen as a partisan issue, as it goes to the heart of the credibility of our democracy. The American people deserve a full investigation into whether Sessions perjured himself and if he is indeed fit to serve as our nation’s highest law enforcement official. No one is above the law — certainly not those sworn to uphold it.”

In his confirmation hearing, then-Senator Sessions was asked about Russia and responded at the time that he “did not have any communications with the Russians.” It has since come to light that Sessions met with Russia’s ambassador to the United States on at least several occasions. Attorney General Sessions has already agreed to recuse himself from investigations into ties between Trump campaign officials and the Russian government if appropriate.

The goal of this site is to post cited news stories of our current POTUS. With such a controversial figure, it's hard to keep track of everything that happens. This site will track his activities.

Mainly, this site will update Monday, Wednesday, Friday. But if I'm in a position to update it when a story breaks, I will.

I will use a number of sources as long as they have quoted remarks from events that are on record. If you see a site on here that tends to lean a certain way, just know I have personally read it and judged that specific article to be more fact than hyperbole.

If you do not wish to be quoted, have a news story I missed, or have any inquires, send an e-mail to: [email protected]

Also, a few people have asked, and this is the only place you'll see something like this on this site, if you would like to donate to help with server costs, I certainly wont stop you:PayPal
